ITIS 4214 - Usable Security and Privacy


People are often considered the weakest link in security and privacy systems. However, this does not mean that people are at fault. Instead, systems themselves are not designed around users’ conceptions and behaviors with regard to security and privacy. Thus, how people interact with current applications is critical to a system’s overall security and privacy. This course provides an introduction to the usability and user interface issues related to a variety of security and privacy technologies and tools. Students will examine the security and privacy implications of users’ behaviors with applications, and design guidelines for improving both the security and usability of those mechanisms. Prior courses in security and privacy or human-centered computing are a plus.
